Winston-Salem, NC – June 9, 2005 – New “old” series from Pine Hall Brick— Old World face brick matches Rumbled® clay pavers

As antique-style bricks gain popularity in new homes and backyards, builders can create historic, old world charm in new home construction, thanks to new Rumbled® face brick that is less expensive than hard-to-find reclaimed products. The Pine Hall Brick Old World series of face brick is specially designed to complement Rumbled® clay pavers, also from Pine Hall Brick.

Old World and Rumbled® are both formed in an innovative process where the bricks are tumbled after firing. The process was developed by Pine Hall Brick to create a worn look in otherwise uniform bricks. With their rounded edges, antique texture and classic appeal, Old World bricks meet or exceed all industry standards and provide state-of-the-art application and performance with consistent strength and sizes.

Old World face brick comes in three colors: Barcelona, Innsbruck and Vienna.

In the past, consumers wanting an antique look in brick relied on reclaimed sources—bricks harvested from old buildings. But there are limitations. “Reclaimed brick is hard to find, expensive and may have durability issues,” says Ted Corvey, Paver Director of Pine Hall Brick, “Our Rumbled products give you the best of both worlds: antique charm and modern day durability.” Pine Hall Brick manufactures a wide range of face brick and is the world’s leading producer of clay pavers.
